ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
twentieth day of November, 1868.

Present :

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The Public Revenues Act,
1867," it is enacted that it shall be lawful
for the Governor in Council to make regulations, not
inconsistent with the provisions of the said Act,
directing the manner in which, and the bank or banks
into which, all moneys legally payable to the Govern-
ment of New Zealand shall be paid into the Public
Account, and for the return of full and sufficient
accounts relating to all such moneys, and for the
guidance of all persons in the public service con-
cerned in the receipt, custody, and expenditure
thereof, and that all such regulations shall come into
force on a day to be named therein: And whereas
by "The Public Revenues Act, 1868," it is enacted
that it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council
from time to time to alter or rescind any regulations
made under the authority of "The Public Revenues
Act, 1867," or "The Public Revenues Act, 1868,"
and to make other regulations not inconsistent with
the said Act in the place thereof, and that all such
regulations shall be published in the New Zealand
Gazette, and shall come into force upon a day named
therein: And whereas by "The Post Office Savings
Bank Act, 1867," it is enacted that it shall be lawful
for the Governor in Council to make, and from time
to time, as he shall see occasion, to alter regulations
for superintending, inspecting, and regulating the
mode of keeping the accounts of depositors, and to
other matters incidental to the carrying the said
last-mentioned Act into execution:

Now therefore, His Excellency Sir George Fer-
guson Bowen, the Governor of New Zealand, with
the advice and consent of the Executive Council of
the Colony, in pursuance and in exercise of all
powers and authorities in this behalf enabling him,
doth hereby make the following Regulations, and doth
declare that the same shall come into force upon the
first day of January, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-nine, upon and from which date all
existing regulations relating to the same matters
shall, so far, but so far only, as the same may be
inconsistent with the Regulations following, thence-
forth cease and determine.

REGULATIONS for CHIEF POSTMASTERS and other
ACCOUNTING POSTMASTERS respecting MONEY ORDER
and SAVINGS BANK BUSINESS; to come into operation
on 1st January, 1869.

1. Instead of paying their surplus receipts from
   Money Order Issues and Savings Bank Deposits to
   Trust Fund, as heretofore, Accounting Postmasters
   will pay them into the Bank of New Zealand to an
   Account to be designated "The Postmaster-General's
   Account," distinguishing always in their accounts

what portion of such payments is on account of
Money Orders and what is on account of Savings
Banks.

2. When Postmasters require funds to meet
   demands on their own or their sub-offices on account
   of either Money Orders or Savings Banks, they are
   authorized to obtain such funds by draft on the
   Postmaster-General through the Bank, in the same
   manner as they have done previously on the Colonial
   Treasurer, being careful to draw separately for
   amounts required for Money Order or for Savings
   Bank purposes.

3. Accounting Postmasters will supply their sub-
   officers with money when the receipts of these
   officers are insufficient to meet the demands on them
   for payment of Money Orders or Savings Bank
   Withdrawals. These remittances should in like
   manner be distinguished in the accounts both of
   the chief and sub-offices, so as to show whether they
   are for Money Order Payments or Savings Bank
   Withdrawals.

4. Monthly Accounts will be rendered by Account-
   ing Postmasters to the Controller of Money Orders
   and Savings Banks, and by Sub-Postmasters to their
   respective Head Offices as at present. The Sub-
   Postmasters will remit their surplus receipts so as
   to reach the Chief Office not later than the last
   business day of each month, or oftener if the Chief
   Postmaster thinks it necessary.

5. Money Order Commissions, money received for
   duplicate Savings Bank Deposit Books sold, and
   Inquiry Fees, must be paid to Revenue Account by
   the Accounting Postmasters monthly, as at present.

6. Accounting Postmasters will, on the 9th, 16th,
   23rd, and last day of each month, furnish the Con-
   troller of Money Orders and Savings Banks with a
   Statement of Receipts and Disbursements on Money
   Order Account, and a similar Statement on account
   of Savings Bank transactions, on the form supplied
   for that purpose.
